When a Mitsubishi SUV and Hyundai hatchback had a minor accident on the MKAD on Thursday, they turned on their flashers and paused to inspect the damage.
But that did little to deter a blue lorry hurtling toward them moments later. The lorry collided first with the Hyundai, then with the Mitsubishi, at the moment the Mitsubishi driver was getting out of his vehicle.
Luckily, it appeared that no one was injured in the MKAD collision, which was caught on the dashboard camera of a passing driver.
Moscow's Crazy Roads:
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
